Matt, first things to do: REPLACE WITH NEW dist cap, rotor cap, points, condensor, plug wires, coil. Next, set timing, remove and clean all battery post connections, and other end of heavy wires at starter end. Trace, remove, clean & replace wires to coil and dist.
Second things to do. Add 1 qt or engine flush, let idle 10 minutes and drain, change oil and filter. Use 15W40 Mobil Delvac 1300.
Third things to do. Remove and replace with NEW thermostat, flush cooling system, refill with 50 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Clean fins with air compressor. Assure that engine is operating at recommended temps.
Fourth things to do. Now use tractor for at least a couple of days hard running. Then do a compression test, squirt oil in cylinder and repeat compression test. Write down all results by cylinder. Remove and inspect the plugs, carefully noting condition.
AFTER these things you can assess whether a rebuild in necessary, valve seals are leaking, etc.
Good luck.
